A new processing for this night shot of Briançon, Hautes Alpes; France, that I took last winter.
This majestic gate is the main entrance to the fortress designed by Vauban, achitect and military engineer under the regn of Louis XIV.

This is a new processing, in black and white this time, of a picture that I made a few months ago (see below) during a night shooting session in Briançon, France. I like it much better in this form... This majestic gate is the main entrance to the fortress designed by Vauban, achitect and military engineer under the regn of Louis XIV.

It took me quite a while to shoot this one, I made several exposures in prevision of an HDR, and I tried several points of view. During this time, a man went out of the restaurant and approached me. He stood behind the tripod and threw a glance in the same direction as the lens, then he said : "ça va être très bien" (it's gonna be nice). I replied "I hope so...", but I wasn't really sure at this time, because the light was really poor, orange everywhere but on the door and the bell tower. This led me naturally to a B&W version, and I just kept colors in the two well-colored spots.
